โ€œKids do well if they can.โ€ - Ross Greene

I believe in this mantra with every fiber of my being. If a kid is not doing well, it is because they lack the skills needed to tackle whatever obstacle it is they are trying to overcome. I am passionate about building relationships as the foundation to cultivate a safe space of authentic learning to occur. Within this safe space, kids are able to quiet the distractions of life and connect to their hearts and minds, explore new ways of being, and feel empowered to make change. I have a Master of Science and Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in School Psychology. I am also a certified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction for Teens Trainer and Yoga Teacher. I have experience working with young people with a range of challenges including learning differences, mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression, substance use challenges, self-harm behaviors, executive functioning challenges that arise from disorders such as ADHD and Autism, as well as those looking to develop more positive coping skills to navigate the stress they encounter in life. I am well versed in psychoeducational assessments and evaluations, as well as the laws and regulations public education settings are required to follow. It is critical to me that every single student is afforded an equitable opportunity for learning, while being treated with kindness and dignity. I strive to be culturally sensitive & operate from a person-first perspective. I am solution-focused and holistic in my approach when working with my clients. I operate from a wellness-based perspective, and enjoy connecting with people outside as much as possible. Please reach out if you think you or your child may benefit from working with me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have, as well as have a free, initial consultation to see if we are a good match. In the meantime, I wish you peace and joy in this very moment.

๐ŸŽ„ Happy holidays, from my heart to yours.

As this year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the moments that shaped it, especially the time spent together in shared space. Each session and group, along with the conversations before and after class, played a meaningful role in what this year became.

This work and this community continue to remind me of the value of slowing down and showing up for what is real. I am deeply grateful for every person who stepped onto the mat, joined a circle, or trusted me to hold space alongside them this year.

As we move through the holidays, my hope for you is simple: to find moments to pause, breathe,and honor what this year held for you.

๐Ÿ’› Thank you for being part of this journey. Wishing you warmth, rest, and a holiday season filled with peace. Namaste, my friends.

What a beautiful way to start one of my favorite winter traditions. Shanti, shanti, shanti my friends. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅโ˜€๏ธ

Thank you to all the amazing women who came out this morning to honor yourself and Winter Solstice while gearing up for The 13 Sacred Nights. You fill my heart and my soul.

Iโ€™ve learned that a regulated mind and body isnโ€™t something we stumble upon once everything on our checklist is complete. Because really, when is it ever?

This week, regulation came from allowing myself to be fully present. I made things with my hands, cooked a nourishing meal, crocheted in silence, and carved out time that was just for me.

๐Ÿ’› If your nervous system has felt stretched lately, may this be your reminder that regulation begins with noticing what brings you back into your body and choosing to prioritize those needs, even when life feels full.

Somewhere along the way, we decided it was our job to carry every thought, expectation, and emotional responsibility that crossed our path, and then we act surprised when our bodies start filing formal complaints. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Tight shoulders? Fatigue? Random aches? Yeahโ€ฆ thatโ€™s your body begging for you to listen! Likely, youโ€™ve been holding onto things that you aren't meant to hold.

Letting go begins when you stop assuming everything deserves your effort. That might look like releasing an expectation you keep chasing, or stepping out of a mental replay and replacing it with a mindful activity.

๐Ÿซถ Your energy is not unlimited, and your body keeps a very honest score. Pay attention to where you are holding tension, effort, or pressure, and ask yourself a simple question: does what Iโ€™m carrying actually need my energy

๐Ÿ’› Again and again, this beautiful practice of yoga has brought me back to myself. Through presence, patience, and trust, it has taught me how to move with my nervous system instead of against it.

๐Ÿค” I was talking with a client about the emotions that challenge me most, and he was surprised when I said it wasnโ€™t anger or sadness or even boredom. Those emotions have wisdom, and theyโ€™re often what guide me back to movement, because the body holds what the mind cannot carry alone.

Someone recently told me they exercise for the same reason โ€œeveryone does,โ€ which in his words was to look good naked. I laughed, because that has never been my reason.

I move my body to model strength and health for my kids, to keep up with the people I love, to honor this one life and this one body Iโ€™ve been given, and to feel capable in my own skin. I move to stay mentally well, to let emotions release instead of stagnate, and to keep climbing every dang mountain that calls my name.

๐Ÿ’› Let this be a reminder to notice what movement does for your emotional landscape, not just your physical one.

๐Ÿ‚ Nesting November carried a different rhythm this year, one that asked me to slow down in ways I did not realize I needed. I found myself lingering in silence a little longer, staying consistent with my small rituals, and giving myself permission to move through each day with more intention. The more I softened my pace, the more I noticed how much ease was available when I wasnโ€™t rushing to keep up with anything other than my own breath.

This month reminded me in more ways than one that tending to myself in simple, meaningful ways creates a ripple effect through every part of my life. I truly made space for it, and in doing so, I felt more grounded and more clear than I have in a long time. As November comes to an end, I am grateful for the steadiness it offered and the clarity that came from slowing down enough to feel present in my own life.

๐Ÿ’› What did you do to tend to yourself this month? And if you find it hard to answer, my friendโ€ฆstart now.

๐Ÿ‚ There is something sacred about working with what has already lived its season. Life, death, rest, and renewal all belong to the same cycle, and there is beauty in honoring each part. As the Earth settles into her long exhale for the colder season, we are invited to settle in as well.

Taking time to gather what the season leaves behind or creating something simple with your own hands can become its own form of self-care. This small ritual helped me slow down, focus on one thing at a time, and meet myself with softness instead of urgency.

๐Ÿ’› As we move toward Thanksgiving and the swirl of the holidays, may we carry that same steadiness with us, giving ourselves more grace than pressure and allowing ourselves to be present with what is right in front of us.
